MONTREAL, May 27.--What was done here
this evening in honor of William OBrien
was meant as the crowning demonstration.
This was the first place he spoke at after in
vading Canada, but the reception tendered
him then was rendered by the Irish socie-
ties almost exclusively, while the reception
tonight was not alone by the Irish societies,
but by all the other city organizations, the
French Canadian associations predominant
ing.
A GRAND RECEPTION.
No sooner had Mr.. O'Brien reached here
last night than a meeting Of representative
French Canadians was held in Richlieu
Hall, at which the general sentiment seemed
to be in favor of inviting Mr.. O'Brien to
stay there and Offering him all hospitalities.
To this end Mr.. Durocher, the proprietor,
and other French Canadians, waited on Mr..
O'Brien and made known their wishes, but
he was obliged to decline. The torchlight
parade was magnificent spectacle
IN FULL SYMPATHY
While Mr. O'Brien was speaking from the
balcony Of st. Lawrence Hall, after his
carriage had been hauled through the
principal streets, one man trod upon another
mans foot, who groaned with pain, and the
people thought he was dissenting from MIR.
O'Brien's remarks and intent on creating
o row in the audience, and they ''went for
him" as one man and before he had time to
recover himself and to explain he was badly
bouised and cut. His name is Sbcrt, and he
is,the editor Of the Canadian Workman and
a warm sympathizer with Mr.. 0'Brien.
ALL OUT IN FORCE.
In grand parade after the deputations
from tho outside towns, came a carriage in
which Mr.. 0'Brien was seated with Mr.
Denis kilbridge, Mr. M. j. Cloran, Presi-
dent of the National League; Mr.. d. Barry,
President of St Patrick's Society, and Mr.
]. B. Lane. Next in line came carriages
bearing the invited guests. On either side of
the vehicle in which Mr.. O'Brien sat were
files of carriages representing the Hack
mems Union, who were loudly applauded
as they filed past. AT least 5000 men car
ried torches, and as they filed past St
Lawrence Hall, on the balcony OF which
Mr.. O'Brien stood with the American
newspaper men and officers of the local
league, there was set up deafen-
ing cheer. On the principal streets
along the route the houses were
illuminated, and electric lights and fire
crackers flashed. Mr.. O'Brien and his friends

In the neighboring streets there were at
least 10000 persons. Not far away, at
Ottawa and Young streets, was Brother
Arnold, of st. AIMS Christian Brother
School, with his 500 students stand
ing and applauding until they
We're hoarse. They sang the Irish national
anthem, 'God Save Ireland" Mr.. O'Brien,

New York, May 27.--R. g. Dun & Co. IS
review Of the trade for the week says: "The
most important news of tine week Is also
the best, that Is, that crop prospects have
decidedly improved. In view of the great
speculations in wheat and cotton, and the
false reports carefully circulated by inter
ested parties, il Is of service TO know that
our own agents telegraph from Wisconsin
Local rains have helped agricultural dis
tlicts;' from Minnesota Rains throughout
the Northwest very materially improve the
crop prospects,; from Kansas City--'The
prospects are excellent for exceptionally
large crops, the recent copious rains
being of great benefit from New Orleans
"Crop prospects generally good.n And
these are samples of our favorable dis
patches from nearly all quarters. The fear
of injury thus far seems satisfactorily re-
moved, and If harm to the wheat or cotton
crops is TO come, it must be from climatic
influences in the future. This good news
for the whole country is dishearteniug,
however, when the financial prospects have
come to depend upon the success Of
gigantic speculatons for an advance in the
prices OF products. The financial future is
also affected by the large receipts Of the
Treasury, amounting for the past ten
months and twenty days TO S31 ,612, 1867 more
than the receipts for the same part Of the
previous year. At the same rate the Treas
ury must take from the markets large sum
every month, after the last call for
3 per cents, which natures July l.

ministration will purchase bonds with great
reluctance, If at ALL During the past week

gold and s., 900 900 more currency than 1t has
paid out, with the issues of silver certificates
only balancing the increase Of silver held,
and with only sl0O, 900 added TO the deposits
in the banks.
Foreign commerce does not improve
April imports exceeded the exports by
1898, ,975, an excess only equaled in one
month Of 1892 after a partial failure Of the
crops, and In no other month since 1872
The prevailing speculations, rather than the
interstate act, cause the decline IN exports,
for shipments of grain by lake and rail are
made without regard to local rail rates. In
cotton the exports are hardly a quarter of
those Of May 1886.
THE Interstate Commission has not yet
revoked ITS orders of the suspension of

rigid enforcement of the act.

CROWDED WITH sIGHTsEERs.
The approaches to the burned theatre are

circulated on the streets to-day, the moral
OF which was that if there had been a
series of Ministers of Fine Arts
with as high a sense of public
duty as had been shown by Gen. Boulanger,
the disaster would not have occurred. The
pamphlet was eagerly bought and produced
visible effect upon the populace, which
was heightened by the occasional passage
OF an ambulance containing a corpse
An audacious firebrand could have per-
suaded the crowd to do anything Ali
Paris turned out to witness the transfer of
the corpses to the Morgue. A Agentleman who
was mistaken for NJ. Berthelot was obliged
